Ben Cunningham

Background

I have a real passion for people and as a result, all of my jobs have been built on supporting others. I have worked as a teacher and SENCO since 2008 and dealt with a variety of students in both mainstream and specialist education. In addition, I have worked as a high level PT, nutritionist and a strength and conditioning coach for elite athletes.

As Education Manager at GroomArts Academy, I am responsible for links with other colleges as well as organising the structure and content of everyone’s learning and adapting any resources to ensure that all students can access the material. This expands to online material and for those that really want to stretch themselves. I also try to look after all students to make sure everyone is happy and getting the most out of the GroomArts experience.

I love running, singing, song writing, languages and just any sort of competition or learning. Any chance for me to compete or to grow and get better or be part of something special, I'm there in a heartbeat and that's why I'm at GroomArts.

City and Guilds L3 Diploma in dog grooming, Assessor A1, PTLLS L3

Background

I’m and Italian national and I have lived in the UK for 7 years…and I love it…apart from the weather. Previously, I worked in the Italian Consulate for 2 years, assisting Italian citizens with a variety of enquiries and communicating all the information provided by consular services. I later worked in the Canadian Visa Office, providing a similar role and processing applications before my love of dogs brought me to GroomArts.

I have worked my way up and am now a teacher and lead assessor, having previously been a teaching assistant and in charge of data protection. I know the experience that all of our students go through and because of this, I can help them achieve the best they possibly can.

Background

Fluent in sarcasm and Friends references. Will literally argue about anything. Constantly craving a bacon sandwich or jam doughnut. Fully believe I can save the world through soya milk and a reusabale water bottle. Have a Cocker Spaniel puppy called Bruce so am exhausted 24/7. Race changes weekly depending on my spray tan cycle.

Sonia Thaibsyah

Background

My background is based on Events Management where I organised charity and music events, as well as working front of house in customer service roles.Throughout my life I have always remained active and enjoy challenging myself through exercise. My greatest achievement to date is running two Marathons and one half Marathon!

As well as having experience being front of house, I now help process some of the admin that keeps GroomArts ticking. I'm also really excited to begin working towards my Level 3 Diploma to be able to get involved in the assessment of our students.

I am fascinated by science, nature, and the moon, and a huge music lover that was born in the wrong era!
